FARPS for Airplanes?

[Angel101]

And now we are in 1.2.1 and I´m trying to make a "Hollywood movie Mision" and it requires an group of 2 A-10c (players) land in secluded road were is waiting a fuel truck and few personnel to refill the planes and continue with the deep strike mission.

 

I used a Farp in blue coalition and I´m able to contact with a KA-50, but unable with A-10C.

 

Not yet implemented? Any further idea?

 

Greetings.

Their gonta need a FARP when that Harrier hits the shelf for a start .

^^ indeedy..

 

FARPS only work with Heli's ATM..

How weird I was trying this today too. I couldn't rearm or refuel either with the su25t.

FARP's only work with Helis.

Improvised airstrips would be really great

Imagine that in DCS eh? I remember in a documentary...the russian aircraft like Su 25, Su 25T were meant to take off from dirt runways. Also would be nice if there was a physical snow layer during snowing/water layer during rain that could effect slip/slide while take off and landing.

Moved to DCS wishlist... I get it.

There was an Discussion about that some time ago.

I always felt that my A-10 needed a lot more runway to stop in rain than when it was dry and the stability also seemed to be decreased. So I'd say that's already done. But maybe not for the Su-25's simpler flight model?!

 

And even though I'm sure those links already exist somewhere in this forum, they're great nonetheless

Hmm... I did not know that. Thanks for the info. Will check it out. But does the taxing...and actual aircraft slowdown slippery? not just longer to stop? thats what I mean... btw...do brakes lock up in aircraft?

I haven't done any specific tests, but yeah, I do think that the influence of rain on the aircraft's (at least the A-10) behavior on the ground is simulated.

And yes, the wheels do lock up. That's why there is the Anti-Skid switch to prevent that.

Press rCtrl + Return to bring up the display for axis input and apply full brakes after touchdown with both Anti-Skid on and off.

With the switch set to on, you will see that the "input level" for the brakes is at max, but the effective braking power moves constantly up and down, just like an anti skid system operates.

If you set it to off, the brakes will be fully applied, your wheels lock up, leaving a skid mark on the runway and you are much more prone to sliding.

Awesome. Will check it out. thanks. :)

I've also felt that rain affects the A-10's stopping. Wonder if that's true for Su-25?
